18 years back my first laptop got debian with windowmaker and was used for years with it. Bodhi bring back the old thrill, comes with a pretty a-z configurable desktop that slightly amazed me. While all known software packages are available and can be used again. After years with plain Ubuntu, Linuxmint and short period with Enlightenment Freya now Bodhi become my favorite.
Go on with this, it's great.

Confirmed, fresh install here too.
ii esudo 1.39bodhi1 all
ii efl 201701261.18 amd64
Functions over esudo bring up the password dialog, after that something hang, no install, no programs appear.
esudo ls = cursor does not return to the console, need CTRL-C to break free
esudo -h = cursor returns but nothing else to see
Wrong or non password results to a 'wrong password' output.
This also disables appcenter functionality and same for ubuntu interaction with gdebi. Plain sudo does the job.
